KDE fake input
org_kde_kwin_fake_input
This interface allows other processes to provide fake input events. Purpose is on the one hand side to provide testing facilities like XTest on X11. But also to support use case like kdeconnect's mouse pad interface.
A compositor should not trust the input received from this interface. Clients should not expect that the compositor honors the requests from this interface.
Warning! The protocol described in this file is a desktop environment implementation detail. Regular clients must not use this protocol. Backward incompatible changes may be added without bumping the major version of the extension.
